What is the Welsh Government doing to improve access to PET scan and prostatectomy facilities in north Wales?

We are working with the health board as a result of its escalation status to improve its service provision and NHS Performance and Improvement is providing intensive support. The health board's improvement plan is focused on strengthening its services, including urology services and the stabilisation of access to PET-CT. Longer-term intentions are for a nuclear medicine centre of excellence and the repatriation of robotic surgery for prostate cancer.

What will the Welsh Government do to support residents in Gwaelod-y-Garth affected by the flooding in July?

My thoughts remain with all those impacted by the flooding at Gwaelod-y-Garth, and I thank everyone who has supported the community through the response and recovery. I visited myself at the time.

We will continue to engage with Breedon Group and the relevant regulators to seek assurance that investigations are being conducted robustly, that the findings of these investigations are acted upon, and that lessons learned are communicated clearly and transparently to the community, who remain, understandably, very concerned.

How is the Counsel General promoting access to justice for stalking survivors?

While criminal justice is largely reserved, we work with policing, the Crown Prosecution Service, courts and specialist services to improve access to justice for stalking survivors. We fund VAWDASV and victim support services across Wales. Stalking-specific advocacy, including Independent Stalking Advocacy Caseworkers, may be funded locally by Police and Crime Commissioners.
